Summary

Roswell High School in Roswell, GA, serves approximately 2,035 students in grades 9-12 within the Fulton County School District. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 70th out of 455 Georgia high schools (85th percentile), with a graduation rate of 93.5% that exceeds both the district (91.9%) and state (87.2%) averages.

Roswell presents a mixed academic profile. The school excels in Biology, with a 67.4% proficiency rate that beats the district (59.7%) and state (47.2%) averages, and has shown steady improvement over the past two years. U.S. History proficiency (51%) also outpaces district and state averages. However, Algebra I proficiency sits at just 42.8%—roughly 18 points below the district average and trailing nearby schools like Lassiter High School (74.9%) and Milton High School (68.7%). This math gap has persisted for four consecutive years and represents the school's most significant academic challenge. One bright spot: chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 26.7% to 16.6% over three years, now matching the district average and beating the state average—a notable improvement compared to Milton's 24.4% rate.

Roswell serves a more economically diverse student body than many neighbors, with about 29% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—higher than Cambridge High School (10.7%) and Alpharetta High School (15.1%). Per-student spending ($15,283) is mid-range among nearby schools, yet outcomes trail several schools that spend less, such as Walton High School ($12,373 per student, ranked 8th statewide). While Roswell has slipped from its former top-40 status to its current second-tier position in the competitive north Atlanta market, its strong science outcomes, improving attendance, and solid graduation rate provide a foundation for continued progress.
